I agree, one of the scariest facts was that uninsured women are more likely to postpone care, forgo filling prescriptions and delay measures such as mammograms and pap tests. Insurance is one of the biggest gatekeepers to so many of the other problems we have discussed. After reading this article, I feel like less frequent mammograms that are covered by insurance might be a better strategy than more frequent mammograms. Especially if this means the difference between a woman getting tested a few times and not getting tested at all.
